Question

How would you use behavior modification to get your children to make their beds and empty the dishwasher?

Answer 1

Behavior modification plans in children can include using a reward chart to increase a certain behavior, such as doing the chores and emptying the dishwasher. Through this method, children can be assigned a point every time a desirable behaviour occurs, and children can use these accumulated points to obtain rewards such as money. Withholding attention when when the child is acting in undesirable ways and providing immediate positive attention when he/she begins behaving appropriately or simply praising the child when he/she engages in desirable behaviors are other techniques.
